Last year I was in a bit of a fashion rut and couldn't really find my usual style items anywhere, or anything really that grabbed me. This probably due to the fact that for the past couple of years I've suffered hugely with low self esteem. However, I'm making 2017 my year to improve my self confidence and bring back the 'me' in my fashion choices.
Last week I wrote a similar post with all myCharlie Palletthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18362574904037057333noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982394212611021701.post-1969498776414953702017-02-08T18:30:00.000+00:002017-02-08T18:30:09.042+00:00PRIMARK FAVOURITES SPRING 2017
Although Winter is my favourite time of year, what I love about the upcoming introduction of a season is the change is fashion. One of my favourite places to shop is Primark. I love Primark's variety as well as the bargain prices and value for money.
I always find that Primark nearly always does exactly the thing I have in my very specific mind when searching for clothes or shoes - and Charlie Palletthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18362574904037057333noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982394212611021701.post-58745935672659619722017-01-29T18:30:00.000+00:002017-01-29T20:21:43.129+00:00NEW YEAR ORGANISATION
Year on year, I always say 'this year I'm going to get more organised' and it's never really gone to well. Well! This year, I'm going to get a grip and stick to it, with the help of beautiful stationery.
With my mental health disorder I should be more organised as it helps with my mood swings and anxiety if I'm the queen on planning.

Interior Design has been a huge passion of mine for years and now owning my own house I wish I had an infinite number of room (and money) to design each room to my unique obsession of style.
Last week, scrolling my iPhone I found an App called, Design Home. I'm in awe.
If you love interior design then you need this app in your life.

Something I love about Christmas with the family is the part after dinner when you're super full of yummy food with the biggest food baby, sat around the living room playing game with the family.
I love talking to friends and finding out what games they play on Christmas Day and which is their family favourite.

I've been with my partner Tom for nearly 5 years now and for the past 3 years I've joined in on the Shelton family tradition that is, Tree Day.
Growing up, Christmas was the 25th December for me a totally amazing day with the family.

In recent years I've fallen in love with Halloween as I got older. Which is something quite fun as you'd think you grow away from dressing up for Halloween however I now do it every year, more than I did as a child or teenager.

Year on year, my best friend and her boyfriend host a Halloween Party and it's always epic.
